Waves & How They Move
Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength, and understand that waves can cause objects to move
Typical age: 9–10 years
“Can your child use a slinky or rope to show how waves work, and explain that bigger waves have more energy and can move things more?”

Needs first
- Volume & Vibrations
Volume-vibration strength pattern supports understanding amplitude
- Wave Behaviour VocabularyREQUIRED
Developing a wave model using amplitude and wavelength requires this technical vocabulary
- Sound Travels Through MaterialsREQUIRED
Must understand sound travels through media before modelling wave properties
